In a close game, I think we're going to try to win. I think we need practice at that. There's no better time than now.

In the past, we might have folded, but we erased that 12-point lead and we're up three at halftime. It's a great, great feeling. It's much different than before.

I just wanted to get out of Dodge, clear my mind, not think about the disappointment anymore, lie on the beach. I'd rather be in the playoffs any time.

If we want to contend with the upper-echelon teams, then we have to play well (Wednesday) and expect to win. They're going to be revved up at home, so we got to bring it.

I'm not going to try to lose. But if we finish behind Memphis with the sixth seed, we're better off.

That might have been for the past, for teams that weren't winning. I guess Chauncey and I might have to eliminate ourselves from that poll.

It's no longer a city thing. It's a playoff-seeding thing. No more statement games. No more learning from losses.

The NBA is the best job in the world, ... and you have to look good in business.

I wanted to set a tone, I really wanted this game. They kept finding me in positions I could score and once they started doubling me really hard on the catch, there were other guys open. I didn't mind sharing the rock.

It was pretty, and then it got ugly. It was a long time coming, and it was an important win for the organization.
